ICW slams deputy attorneys general

JAKARTA: Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW) strongly condemned
on Wednesday the staunch support of deputy attorneys general for
their boss M.A. Rahman, who is under fire in a case of alleged
corruption.

The action of the deputies, who have closed ranks to support
Rahman without reservations, was misplaced, as the attorney
general's case was a personal one, and had nothing to do with the
AGO as an institution, said ICW. It would therefore discredit the
reputation of the Attorney General's Office with the public.

ICW demanded that the deputy attorneys general who supported
Rachman be released from their posts, said ICW in a statement
made available to the media.

M.A. Rahman is currently in hot water after media reports
suggested that his house in South Jakarta may have been acquired
using ill-gotten gains. -- JP
